Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 66 Xuzhou wins big, Xiaopei city is in danger

As soon as the Chinese army's banner fell, Cao Jun really panicked.It's a trivial matter to lose the army, but if Cao Ang and Cao Zhi died, it would be a big deal.

You know, Cao Ang and Cao Zhi are the two best sons of Boss Cao, if they are wiped out in a wave.Well, among the people present today, from generals to soldiers, it’s no good if one counts as one.

"It's okay, son, this is a trick of the enemy army."

"It's okay, son, this is a trick of the enemy army."

Xia Houyuan, Dian Wei and others who knew the details hurriedly shouted at the top of their voices.However, in this kind of battle of 20 people, the voices of just a few people are simply not worth mentioning.

Once Cao Jun's central army's banner fell, it would be like a mountain of defeat.

At this time, Cao Jun had almost collapsed.Under the encirclement and suppression of Li Chen's [-] troops, Cao Jun was killed without fail.

At this time, Xiahouyuan, Xiahoudun and other generals were severely suppressed by Yuwen Chengdu, and they could not escape at all.When the soldiers saw the Chinese army's banner fell, they thought the two brothers Cao Ang and Cao Zhi were dead.Coupled with the fact that there is no one to command, they can only throw away their helmets and armor for a while, and flee in embarrassment.

In the first battle just now, in fact, Cao's army did not suffer much losses, and it was only 3 to [-] people.Now the morale of Cao Jun's remaining army is like a flood that has been released, and no one can stop this retreat.

Xia Houyuan and the others also looked at each other, and everyone knew that the situation was over.

Not long after, Xia Houyuan and the others found an opportunity and fled towards the rear in embarrassment.

Li Chen's generals did not pursue, but launched a siege against Cao Cao's defeated army.

Soldiers in this era don't have any beliefs or standpoints. Under normal circumstances, this kind of soldiers who have just been captured can immediately be replenished in their own army after being dispersed.Li Chen has no shortage of generals. In Li Chen's view, besieging these soldiers is much more meaningful than besieging Xia Houyuan and other generals.

"Surrender without killing"

"Surrender without killing"

All of a sudden, Yunlong's army roared loudly on the entire battlefield, and those soldiers of Cao's army who were blocked had no choice but to throw down their weapons and catch them without a fight.

At this time, Cao Jun was running all over the mountains and plains. At first glance, he thought Li Chen was ordering the soldiers to catch rabbits.

late at night.

Xuzhou, Yunlong Hall.

"Kick, kick, kick."

There was a sound of footsteps, and Liu Bowen came quickly and reported: "The commander-in-chief, killed more than [-] enemies in total, captured more than [-] enemy troops, and seized countless ordnance."

"it is good!"

"This battle was fought beautifully." Li Chen was overjoyed and couldn't help but praise.

You know, Cao Jun's full battle is no more than one hundred thousand troops.After this battle, more than 3 people were beheaded by himself, and more than 1 people were captured.In other words, Cao Jun ran away with a total of [-] people, and most of these people must have escaped.Calculated in this way, the soldiers who returned to Cao Ying in the end would not exceed [-] soldiers.

Great victory, this battle is considered a great victory even in the early stage of the Three Kingdoms.

"What about the casualties of our army?" Li Chen pondered.

"More than [-] people died, more than [-] were seriously injured, and more than [-] were slightly injured." Liu Bowen reported.

There are no immortals in a war, and this battle loss ratio is already pretty good, but you must know that most of Li Chen's troops are recruits.After this battle, the recruits were bloodied and became veterans.

However, the only regret in this era is that a serious injury is basically equivalent to booking a seat at Yan Luo Store.After basic medical treatment, seriously injured soldiers can only rely on themselves, whether they survive or not depends entirely on destiny.

"The seriously injured brother must also be rescued. Find the best doctor and use the best medicine. As long as the brother can be rescued, he will do whatever it takes." Li Chen said to Liu Bowen in a solemn tone.

Seeing Li Chen's serious expression, Liu Bowen couldn't help being moved, he nodded and cupped his hands and said, "My lord is kind."

With a lord like Li Chen, the soldiers have no reason not to die.

You know, the least valuable thing in this era is human life.It can even be said that in the era when life was so cheap, almost no warlord would make great efforts to treat seriously injured soldiers on the battlefield.There are even some people who, in order to reduce the pain of seriously wounded soldiers, will deal with them together with seriously wounded enemy soldiers.

Dealing with the seriously injured soldiers of the enemy army and not letting them waste their own resources, Li Chen can be said to have no sense of guilt in doing this kind of thing.However, these injured brothers on our side are all heroes who bleed for themselves.If they were dealt with together, it would be worse than a beast.

Li Chen would definitely not do such a thing that would cause the hero to bleed and cry, so as long as there is even a glimmer of hope, he will definitely save these brothers, and he will do his best to save them.

After ordering the wounded soldiers, Li Chen then said to Liu Bowen: "Bowen, the captured soldiers should be selected as young and strong as possible to add to our army. As for the old and weak, they will be dismissed as civilians on the spot. They must be properly resettled."

"No." Liu Bowen cupped his hands and said.

The victory in Xuzhou wiped out [-] elite soldiers of Cao's army in one fell swoop, and the morale of both soldiers and civilians in the city was high.

at the same time.

Xiaopei.

In Xiaopei City, people were already panicking.

Cao Cao personally led the army to attack Xiaopei for three days. At this time, the city of Xiaopei was full of corpses and blood flowed like rivers.

Under this small Xiaopei city, Cao Cao has already lost [-] troops.Similarly, Lu Bu in the city was not much better. At this time, even counting the wounded soldiers, he had less than [-] soldiers.

Cao Cao didn't expect that Lu Bu's defense was so firm this time, it could be said that he would rather die than take a step back.In Cao Cao's view, although Lu Bu was skilled in martial arts, he was a family slave with three surnames.Why, he was so weak when dealing with Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, and Wang Yun, but when it was his turn to deal with Cao Cao, he became so tough.

Before Cao Cao went to Xiaopei City several times to persuade Lu Bu to surrender, he was scolded by Lu Bu and Chen Gong in turn.Today, Cao Cao even threatened Lu Bu under the city, if he did not surrender.Those who wait until the city is broken will have to slaughter the city for three days.

But even so, Lu Bu still would rather die than surrender.This made Boss Cao so angry that he couldn't figure out why Lu Bu was so stubborn this time.

Xiaopei.

On the top of the city, Lu Bu stood on the top of the city and looked at the soldiers lying on the city wall in disorder, and then looked at Cao Jun's camp not far away.

How many more days can be left, Lu Bu really can't decide to pay attention.

"My lord, there are not enough rocks and logs in the city. I'm afraid they won't be enough for tomorrow." Just at this moment, Zhang Liao Gao Shun appeared behind Lu Bu, and Zhang Liao cupped his hands and said.

In the battle of city defense, the side defending the city has an absolute advantage.As Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, encircle three times and attack ten times.That is to say, if the difference in military strength is three times that, we can only besiege the city and wait for the enemy's food and grass to run out.And when the strength of the army is more than ten times, it is only then that there is a sure-fire attack.

The reason why the defending party was able to deal with ten times the attacking troops was mainly due to the three treasures of defending the city, the stone, the rolling log and the golden juice.

Needless to say, golden juice can be continuously produced as long as there are people.But this rock and log is a consumable, and it cannot be recycled after it is thrown away.But now, the rocks and logs stored in Xiaopei City have almost been exhausted.
